Hi,
BACK TO BACK ORDER
This process comes in Global Trade Management
Trading Companies are basically huge business coordinators - they connect suppliers with customers, then take percentage of the contract value from both sides as a commission/finders's fee. Essentially, trading companies make their profits by facilitating transactions between companies. One main / core process is the back-to-back business, which is when we have a known customer and vendor when the deal is contracted.

DROP SHIPMENTS
This process comes when you are doing third party business,
where vendor ship material directly to customer and raise invoice to your compant and latter you raise inovice to your customer
In third-party order processing, your company does not deliver the items requested by a customer. Instead, you pass the order along to a third-party vendor who then ships the goods directly to the customer and bills you. The standard sales order automatically creates a purchase requisition for the materials to be delivered by the third-party vendor.
In this scenario, the vendor sends a shipping notification. The incoming invoice from the vendor updates the billing quantity, so that the customer-billing document is only possible after entering the invoice from the vendor.
If the customer does not accept the delivered goods from the third party vendor, the customer disposes of the goods. A credit memo is issued to the customer reversing the revenue and cost of goods sold. Then a MM credit memo is created for the third party vendor. A statistical goods receipt reversal is performed for the goods in order to close out the original purchase order. The vendor credit memo may initially be blocked for payment, if previous agreement for this with vendor exists.
